Nother IPchains question

I've noticed when compiling a new kernel I'll get an "IPchains protocol not available " when my new kernel loads.However, everything seems to work just fine. I get on the net ok . I use a router so all my computers are hooked up to my cable modem.This only happens on kernels I compile so anyone have an idea what's causing this?I use SuSE if that helps but it has happened in Redhatand Drake also.

Re: Nother IPchains question

Only thing I can guess is you have IP Chains setup somewhere in your init scripts, but you didn't enable it in your kernel configuration. I would say a quick fix is to recompile your kernel and add ip chains support....

Re: Nother IPchains question

Sorry to take so long to reply.I forgot about this thread.Yes, Aragorn and JimH,you were both right in that I have not been enabling support for ipchains.I've got that configured right now,so thank you guys for the assist.

This message will appear even though I have explicitly accepted outgoing packets heading for 139.130.4.4 on port 3 in rc.firewall.

I have searched for this and have come up with a german linux mailing list. They talk about this being an error in ipchains logging system, and nothing to be concerned about. I just wanted to double check this.

I am running Redhat 6.2 on a celeron500/128mb. It is running a DNS server, an apache server, ftp server and sendmail. It might also be one of these servers trying to send out the rejected packet on port 3.

I wouldn't call myself experienced at using linux (used it for 1 and half years) but I know my way around the command line well enough, and anything I don't understand I would search for it on google ;D.
